The Standards of Care (SOC) for the Health of Transsexual, Transgender, and Gender Nonconforming People is a publication of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). The overall goal of the SOC is to provide clinical guidance for health professionals to assist transsexual, transgender, and gender nonconforming people with safe and effective pathways to achieving lasting personal comfort with their gendered selves, in order to maximize their overall health, psychological well-being, and self-fulfillment. This assistance may include primary care, gynecologic and urologic care, reproductive options, voice and communication therapy, mental health services (e.g., assessment, counseling, psychotherapy), and hormonal and surgical treatments. The SOC are based on the best available science and expert professional consensus. Because most of the research and experience in this field comes from a North American and Western European perspective, adaptations of the SOC to other parts ...

Transgender Emergence: Therapeutic Guidelines for Working with Gender-Variant People and Their Families

The long-awaited DSM-5 has finally been published, generating controversy in many areas, including the revised diagnostic category of Gender Dysphoria. This commentary contextualizes the history and reform of the pathologization of diverse gender identities and expressions, within a larger perspective of examining psychological viewpoints on sexual minority persons, and the problems with continuing to label gender identities and expressions as pathological or disordered.

Gender dysphoria: Two steps forward, one step back.

This article outlines recommendations for the World Professional Association for Transgender Health's (WPATH) Standards of Care (SOC) regarding the roles, responsibilities, and tasks of the mental health provider in assessing eligibility and readiness for medical and surgical treatment of gender nonconforming, transgender, and transsexual clients. It reflects a reconceptualization of the role of the mental health provider as a gender specialist and an advocate and educator for transgender people and their families utilizing a nonpathologizing assessment process. This article reflects a need for clinical SOC that minimize the role of “gatekeeping,” and increase the use of informed consent and harm-reduction procedures, while still providing guidelines for psychosocial evaluation. Recommendations are made for less pathologizing nomenclature, clearer definitions for the professional qualifications of those specializing in working with gender-variant people, and increased collaboration across discipl...

The Ten Tasks of the Mental Health Provider: Recommendations for Revision of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health's Standards of Care

Transgender Communities: Developing Identity Through Connection.

This paper focuses on the impact of heteronormativity on research and clinical theory, utilizing the case of a lesbian couple with a young gender dysphoric child as a backdrop to discuss the contextual unfolding of gender development within a lesbian parented family. The extant research on LGBTQ-headed families has minimized the complexity of children's developing gender identity and sexual orientation living in queer families, and has been guided by heteronormative assumptions that presume a less optimal outcome if the children of LGBTQ parents are gay or transgender themselves. This article challenges family therapists to recognize the enormous societal pressure on LGBTQ parents to produce heterosexual, gender-normative children, and the expectations on their children, especially those questioning their own sex or gender identities.
